I think this started happening in a recent version, because it’s infuriating typing in Thai now and I don’t remember ever being annoyed by this before now.

This doesn’t happen in different editors on the same operating systems.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Type a Thai word, like ที่
  2. Press backspace

Expected result

The first press of backspace should reduce ที่ to ที, then again, to ท, before deleting the entire character.

Actual result

Backspace deletes the entire character including all vowels and tone marks in one go, meaning you have to start the character again if you do a typo.

Update:
My wife had Obsidian 1.0.4 on her iPhone, and it DIDN’T have this issue. She just updated to 1.0.5, and it DOES have the issue now. It has definitely been introduced in between these versions.

Also, the issue doesn’t happen on the title of a note, only in the note body.

More info: The issue doesn’t happen in the legacy editor

Yeah, in Source Mode and Live Preview mode.

Ok, so this is an upstream bug with the editor we use.
I am not familiar with how Thai language is supposed to work.

I suggest you open a bug report here: https://github.com/codemirror/codemirror.next/issues
and describe the problem that you see while using their demo page here https://codemirror.net/6/

It looks like I got a reply on the CodeMirror issue, and he closed it, but I’m not sure what he means - do you understand what he’s getting at?

#9

He added a patch to fix the issue. We will apply the patch in one of the next releases.

Ah, glorious!!! What a great result. I guess this is case closed for now =)
